Leander History

Established July 17, 1882, Leander was originally called Bagdad. According to the Leander city website, “[t]he first settlers arrived in the area around 1845, receiving bounty land grants in exchange for service in the Texas Revolution.” These settlers were frequently subjected to attacks by Indians declaring Central Texas as their home. “[B]ecause of these frequent attacks, the Texas Rangers were called in to protect the settlers and they constructed a building that would house up to 60 men. This was one of the first buildings of what is now Williamson County.” The first post office to open in Bagdad did so in 1858 and by 1860 the city had established a United Methodist church. The first school in Bagdad was formed in 1871 in the Masonic Lodge. In 1882, the town of Leander was founded and throughout the rest of the 1800s and into the 1900s, the Leander community was thriving. However, Leander was hit hard by the Great Depression and the population dropped to a mere 200 people. The population grew slowly throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. In the 1990s, the Leander community had built itself up to a population of 3,398. Since then, Leander has been growing and expanding at an astonishing rate.
